insightful and accessible June 16, 2008
Fareed Zakaria does a nice job framing the current global political-economic landscape in a smart yet granular fashion. This is a good read for old poli-sci or IR buffs, or anyone looking to stress test their world view without having to delve too deeply into academia.
 The Logical Future June 13, 2008
What a refreshing and detailed view of our future as Americans. After watching Fox News, CNN, etc. One can come to believe that our country and world is headed straight down the drain. This book is optimistic in our future if only we have the right leadership in government, business, and education. I feel better having read this book and will limit my watching the 24 hour news cycle in the future. Everyone, especially voters come November, should read this book.
Pre-election Reading June 12, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a must read for everyone who plans to vote in November's election. The world presented by Zakariah can open the eyes of Americans who have not had the opportunity to travel to the rising countries. In readable prose, Zakariah describes what is happening now in places like China and India and we what we, in America, must face in the near future as a result. The balance of power is changing, and we need leadership prepared to understand the world of tomorrow, act responsibly within a new framework and help our nation accommodate to the changes.
The Sky Is Not Falling June 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Calm down. China is not taking over the world and the U.S. is not about to become a second rate power. However, Zakaria presents realistic thoughts on why the U.S. must adjust to a world in which it will not be the only major player. The current (June '08) runup in gasoline prices is evidence that we will compete with rapidly growing economies such as those of China and India for many years to come. Zakaria's narrative is readable and not inundated with statistics. At the same time, it lacks the statistical depth that would be needed to be a definitive argument.
